3HrCr brand guidelines : An introduction

In the competitive world of the leisure industry, the

Historic Rally Car Register has to meet with the expectations

of consumers in order to attract and retain them.

To do this it has to present itself in a professional way.

It has to be clear about what it is, what it does and why it’s

the market leader. One consistent voice, one consistent

visual identity, one brand – making it easy for the consumer

to recognise, understand, embrace and support.

These guidelines have been created to do just that.

Please follow them meticulously to ensure you play your part

in keeping the HRCR, Europe’s leading historic rally club.

Thank you.

Correct use

Only official logo files should be used. Never attempt to recreate the logo in any form.

These can be obtained from Tony Barron: [email protected] or Alan Turner: [email protected]

When using the logo never stretch or distort it from its

original proportions.

using the colour logo

To portray the brand at its very best and to maintain consistency, the logo should

always be reproduced in colour.

Should this not be possible then please contact Tony Barron: [email protected] or

Alan Turner: [email protected]

Do not attempt to use the colour logo for any other type of reproduction.

Official logos are available in a number of digital file formats and colour modes depending on the application. If you require a specific type of file that is not listed, please contact Tony or Alan above.

Choosing the right digital file

Colour mode – Logos are available in CMYK and RGB colour modes. In general,

CMYK files are used for 4-colour printing and RGB files for on-screen display.

iMPOrTanT: always ensure the colour mode of the logo is matched to the method of

output. never convert one colour mode to another as this will cause a shift in colour

from the original.

File type – The logo files are available as vector and image files. Please remember image files (JPEG and PNG), have a limited resolution which deteriorates in quality when used in excess of 100%. Therefore these files have a maximum size included in their file description (e.g. HRCR_Colour_100mm.jpeg). In contrast, vector files can be used at any scale without loss of quality. In addition, all logo files have a clear/transparent background – with exception to JPEG files which have a white background.

12Brand fonts : Introduction

Choice of Fonts

Following a similar rationale to the selection of the colours, the fonts have also been chosen to retrospectively

reflect those fonts popular during the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s. Many of these are ‘modern interpretations’ instead of the actual fonts, so that rather than living in the past we are creating new history.

If a rally driver used this method

on the Alpine Rally, for instance, he

would need a new pair of arms at

the end. Another advantage of the

straight-arm method of steering is

the greater control it gives of tail

swing, as it is a more rapid method

of moving from one lock to another.

The Home of Historic RallyingThe HrCr strapline

Within a very specialised leisure activity – and one that has many competitor

organisations – the HRCR strapline is used to help differentiate the club from others by defining what is unique and aspirational about it.

Formed in 1984 it was the first organisation of its kind and has since become Europe’s leading club within historic rallying scene. As the ‘original’ (and best), it remains central to the sport as both an entry and focal point for enthusiasts.

‘The Home of Historic Rallying’ is an enviable brand position that no other

organisation can occupy.

using the strapline with the logo

The strapline can be used alongside the logo as shown opposite. The preferred

font is Alternative Gothic No.2, set in upper and lower case. The distance between the bottom of the logo and the top of the lowercase letters is half the

diameter of the rally clocks. The ‘safe area’ around the logo is then extended to include the strapline.

ROAD RALLy CHAMPIONSHIP

HRCR HIsTORIC ROAD RAllYINg

SPEED SERIESHILL CLIMB & SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP

The HRCR coordinates an annual series

of historic road rallies in which clubman

competitors participate in driving and

navigational challenges and at a fraction of

the cost of the big-name classic rallies. 2015

celebrates the championship’s 21st year.

These popular single-day historic

road rallies offer real tests for driver-

navigator partnerships, each rally having

a combination of regularity sections on

quiet and scenic back-roads and timed

special tests at private venues. They all run

in daylight hours only, some events on a

Saturday, others on a Sunday, each covering

between 120 and 150 miles. With entry fees

usually around £110 per event, including

lunch and a meal at the finish for the crew,

they can’t be any more affordable.

Events in the series are geographically

spread around England and Wales. Nine

historic rallies are on the calendar for 2015,

all reassuringly similar in many ways but

interestingly different in others.

On these historic road rallies which are

organised and marshalled by motor clubs

local to each area, you’ll be mixing with a

great variety of historic vehicles. All events

in the series are run to MSA National-B

regulations for which Competition Licences

are easily obtained for driver and navigator.

Cars do have to comply with the MSA

historic road rally vehicle regulations, which

allow cars manufactured up to the end

of 1985. However, preparation and special

equipment required is kept to a minimum.

Don’t be worried about the navigation.

Routes use the excellent Ordnance Survey

Landranger maps and finding the correct

route is seldom too difficult for novice

navigators, as organisers want everyone to

get to the finish having enjoyed the day.

Still worried that you’ll find it all too

difficult? – then enquire about the HRCR’s

scheduled training days, when experienced

competitors give instruction in all aspects

of historic road rallying.

This exciting new championship is designed

to add yet another dimension to the range

of events in which members can enjoy and

compete in their cars.

Uniquely this championship has a massively

broad appeal due to the type of cars

that can take part. It is open to standard

road-going classics, historic road and stage

prepared rally cars and even, for those

fortunate to own such machinery, Group B

rally cars.

In addition, the aim is to offer members

the opportunity to use their cars in

competition and ‘in anger’ but amidst a

more relaxed social environment.

The championship will run under a

closed-to-club permit, open to members

of the HRCR.

The individual events that make up the

championship are run by trusted and

established organisers and have been

specially selected by the HRCR. They

include both hill climb and sprint events.

There are eleven events to choose from –

six hill climbs and five sprints – with the

best six scores to count.

The popular Brecon MC event on Epynt is

a ‘double header’ for those who would like

to make a weekend of it. However you can

compete on just the one day if you so wish.

The championship will run to the MSA Blue

Book, Sprints and Hill Climbs regulations.

Vehicle preparation is minimal, especially

if your car is already prepared for historic

competition. Competitors are required to

wear overalls, flame-resistant gloves, and a

helmet. All the above have to conform to

the regulations detailed in the 2015 MSA

Blue Book.

The registration fee to be part of the

championship is just £20.

The classes for vehicles are as follows:

ClAss 1 Cars built up to 31st Dec 1959

ClAss 2 Cars built between 1st Jan 1960

and 31st Dec 1967


and 31st Dec 1974

SCENIC TOURSDRIVING EVENTS FOR CLASSICS 1

The HRCR, in association with Classics by

JSWL, promotes a Scenic Tour Series of

specially selected and recommended events

that are guaranteed to be great value and

good fun.

The events use routes through outstanding

scenery stopping off at interesting places

along the way, making them great whether

you’re behind the wheel or not.

Navigation is simple – usually a road book

of simple diagrams (Tulips) which eliminate

the need to read a map – and some events

include code boards or passage checks so

you know you’re on the right route.

Timing is only used to spread cars out on the

road giving the crews time to socialise and

relax and enjoy the scenery.

You don’t require a competition licence

but your car does need to be safe and road

legal. All classics are welcome and some

organisers accept ‘modern’ classics.

The Historic Rally Car Register has been at the heart of the historic rally scene for over 30 years.

Founded in 1984, it was the first

organisation of its kind and is now

the largest. Originally formed by

a group of enthusiasts as a way of

documenting original ‘Works’ rally

cars, such was the interest that soon

a whole new genre of events was

created to relive the ‘golden age’ of

rallying. And so the historic rally

scene was born.

31 years on and the Historic Rally Car

Register, with its President Paddy

Hopkirk, is ‘the’ club to join for anyone

with an interest in Historic Rallying –

the branch of motor sport dedicated

to the types of cars that were rallied

from the 1950’s through to the 1980’s.

HRCR members can be found

supporting all forms of historic rallying

in Britain and abroad, as drivers,

navigators, organisers, marshals and

spectators. From the Welsh lanes and

Yorkshire forests to the famous

passes of the Alps.

As ‘the Home of Historic Rallying’ the

Historic Rally Car Register is where

the classic rally community gathers

and shares its passion – why not join

in and be part of the action.

COMPETINg IN YOuR CAR

Historic rallying is all about recreating the challenge and excitement of competing

during the ‘golden age’ of rallying, using cars that were rallied from the 1950’s through

to the 1980’s. It is one of the more affordable and friendly forms of motor sport.

Whether you already have a classic car or are thinking of acquiring one to use for

historic rallies, it will need to fall into one of four age-related MSA historic vehicle

categories in order to be eligible for competitive events.

The category of car you drive (and sometimes the engine size) determines which

‘Class’ you will compete in for awards, in addition to any overall awards. Category 4

cars, being the most modern, are not usually eligible for overall awards. Vehicle event

classes mean you compete fairly against cars of a similar age and performance. In a

similar manner, historic rallies involving map navigation will often have classes split

by driver and navigator experience, such as Master, Expert and Novice.

Vehicle safety and performance modifications vary depending on what type of

competition you choose to do, but in principle cars can only be fitted with period

modifications – ie. recognised modifications that were available for your car and

used in rallying. Later and more modern modifications are not permitted.

More specific information about individual cars can be found at hrct.co.uk –

a website for technical information on historic rally cars. In addition, joining the club

and talking to other HRCR members is the perfect way to get your car sorted.

The HRCR is proud to offer five different ways you can go

historic rallying in your classic car in 2015.

Our highly successful Scenic Tours Series and our Road and Stage Rallying

Championships are to be joined in 2015 by two new additions; the HRCR Speed

Series and the HRCR Premier Rally Championship, adding an even broader choice

of driving experiences and competition to our members. All have many different

things to offer depending on how you want to use your car (or cars), what kind of

driving experience you want, and how competitive you want to be.

Also new for 2015 is a two day Road Rally based on the very successful ‘Classic 30’

The Premier Rally Championship is

organised by the HRCR with the assistance of

Dan Pidgeon of BritishRoadRallying.com

This all-new rallying initiative from the

HRCR, is a national road rally championship

with a wide range of events that caters for all

types of car – historic, vintage and modern.

Embraced within the championship is a

scheme where points can be won in any

three Endurance Rally permit events, and

any three Targa Rally permit events, and

two longer events: The Three Castles and

The Flying Scotsman, as well as traditional

night Road Rally and Navigational Rally

permit events. The championship also

includes all of the rounds in the HRCR

Clubmans Road Rally Championship.

The championship is designed to be a

National Road Rally Championship with a

very wide range of style of events, in effect

embracing all styles of road rallying for all

the very varied types of car competing.

It is not ‘car based’ with eligibility and

scrutineering standards - if it fits the event

that is a round of the Premier Championship,

the car is eligible. It’s chiefly designed for

people - not specific cars.

Approved by the MSA, the championship

requires membership of the HRCR and an

entry-fee of £20.

HISTORIC RALLy CHAMPIONSHIP

STAGERoldAn all-new road rallying initiative based around the crew rather than the car. A single championship that allows you to mix cars and events.

If you want to experience some full-on sideways action then welcome to the closed roads and forest tracks of Historic Stage Rallying.

These single or multi day events give you

the unique opportunity to challenge

yourself on some of the UK’s most famous

rally stages ‘flat out’ in your classic rally car.

Test your skills on a mixture of asphalt and

gravel events – all come complete with

plenty of high quality stage miles and a mass

of spectators and media coverage too.

But this is not purely a playground for the

experts. The sport and the HRCR welcomes

novice crews and a lot of support,

assistance and camaraderie is shared

amongst competitors.

The popular ‘old Stager’ Historic Rally

Championship, organised by the HRCR,

returns for 2015 thanks to the support

of our sponsors; Mintex, Minisport and

REIS. Our aim is to promote a simple,

no nonsense, closed-to-club stage rally

championship for club members. The

format will be a six round championship

with seven scores available and your best

four scores to count. The rounds have

been selected for their value for money

and variety to provide an exciting and

challenging championship for the clubman.

The championship is run to MSA

regulations for historic rally cars, to

provide a level playing field for all. To enter

the championship you will need to be a

member of the HRCR and hold an MSA

National B or higher grade competition

licence and your car will need to comply

with the MSA historic stage rally vehicle

categories 1, 2, 3 and 4 (inc. FIA Appendix K

cars) and regulations.

There will be separate awards for each

category, no overall winner. With famous

names: Paddy Hopkirk providing the

Trophy for the Category 1 Championship

and Phil Mills the award for Category 4.

Regular media partners Retro Speed will

support the Category 2 Championship

and the HRCR the Category 3. The popular

Mini and Imp Cups will be retained, these

challenges are for the factory derivatives of

these models and the challenge is open to

models from any of the age categories. All

Minis and Imps will run with the Category 1

cars. Tyre choice will be free as long as

they comply with MSA requirements for

historic cars.

The registration fee for the new

championship, launched at the HRCR Open

Day, will be a competitive £40 per crew.

Scenic Tours are a series of social driving events promoted by the HRCR

giving classic car owners the opportunity to use their pride and joy on

a ‘rally style’ event but without the competitive element.

Using simple navigation, events are staged all around the country

and take place throughout the year.

They are run along some of the most beautiful country roads in Britain

– stopping off for refreshments at some super locations along the way.

You don’t need a competition licence, be a motor club member or have

special insurance. You just need a classic car and willing passenger to

share in the fun!

Discover the world of classic rallying with the

Historic Rally Car Register’s Scenic Tour Series 2014.
